How to Remove Silverskin from Pork Tenderloin
Learn this technique to get tender, juicy slices of pork tenderloin every time.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pork tenderloin
Instructions
- Place a small sharp knife under the shiny membrane (called silverskin) of the tenderloin, and slide it along the membrane (away from you) to remove it. If needed, use a paper towel to better grip the silverskin.
- If your pork tenderloin has any fatty bits, they can also be removed.
- Prepare pork tenderloin as desired.
Notes
- Use a sharp knife with a narrow blade.
- Pat the meat dry before beginning and if necessary use a paper towel to obtain a firm grip.
- Silverskin typically does not come off in one piece. Work slowly to slice the silverskin off into small pieces and discard.
